I really want to have my customized column entitled "Read" (a yes/no of whether I've read the book) to show in my catalog. It would be best in the calibre2opds catalog but I don't even see an option there so I've tried it in the epub/mobi versions of the catalog to no avail. Has anyone gotten this to work, & if how do you do it?
I can get it in the CSV version though.
Also existing catalogs are not replaced as indicated. When I try that, I get this error ;
